I have a Redmi Note 5 Pro from last Saturday while uploading Instagram stories as usual, the phone decided to crash. So I turned it off and back on though got stuck with MI Logo and Bootloop. The device said it's unlocked but apparently seems not to.
I CANNOT go into recovery mode.
I CANNOT flash any recovery too.
I have connected the device to my laptop (Windows 10) through fastboot try to flash any recovery: OrangeFox, TWRP, no success.
I either run a powershell or run CMD as Admin
This is the error:
c:\adb fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Sending 'recovery' (31161 KB) OKAY [ 0.669s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'Error flashing partition : Write Protected')
fastboot: error: Command failed
So I try this command: fastboot boot recovery.img
It loads the recovery either TWRP or OrangeFox but only the Logo nothing else.
It doesn't RUN any official MIUI recovery.
So, now I can use ADB commands.
The phone is seen connected to Windows 10 as USB but I guess not MTP mode but only as charging mode.
In the "Safely Remove Hardware" section I can see the device connected and its name as Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Of course I can't see the device in the Explorer and any folder as the OS hasn't loaded at all.
Now, though, I can run ADB commands, so I typed: run devices and it says it's in recovery mode, also with the number of the device.
Then with ADB SHELL LS command
I can see the folder tree
With Push and Pull commands, I can copy folders, but cannot access and copy the content of SDCARD and STORAGE.
I know those folders are protected even though my phone should be unlocked but apparently it is not then.
It's really ridiculous that there is no a way around this.
Why, if I am the owner the unlock process have to reset phone data?
It's so stupid! They should have developed a public/private key or a long key to unlock those folder by registering your phone with SN and IMEI number.
So surprised Google and any brand don't do that.
If I connect the device in fastboot mode, I have those details:
fastboot oem device-info
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
OKAY [ 0.006s]
Finished. Total time: 0.006s
Is there a WAY with lower level commands or software to access to data with "write protected" inside the phone memory?
I would love to recover my Whatsapp folder and my DCIM folder with every files in those.
Or the only solution is to give the Device to experts and do the CHIP Off recovery data?
Will MiFlash with a MIUI rom with save user data option actually save my data and hence Whatsapp and DCIM folder and its content inside?
Please Help!
If anyone can HELP to successfully recover my data seriously I would be more than happy to give a compensation via PayPal cause I would truly appreciated the infinite effort and help!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can sponsor the cause!
I am so pissed as the phone should be under 2 years warranty but of course no brand would cover and help you through those issues!
Such A PITY!
Kind regard,
Michael
